Q

What are stromal cells?

A

Stromal cells are connective tissue cells of any organ. They are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ.
Provides the structure, mechanical and nutritional support to the organ

Q

How does the haemostasis phase work?

A

Wound closed by clotting (coagulation process)
Platelets and fibrin adhere to site
Formation of a thrombus

Q

What happens during the remodelling process of wound healing?

A

Maturation phase
Collagen is remodeled and becomes re-aligned
Injured sites tend to be weaker than normal sites (80% tensile strength)

Q

How does a tissue heal if there is a severe injury?

A

Scar formation

18
Q

What are labile tissue? give examples.

A

continuously proliferating in order to replace dead or sloughed-off cells
Skin, gastrointestinal, salivary glad tissue

19
Q

What are stable tissue? give examples.

A

cells that normally exist in a non-dividing state but may enter the cell cycle in response to certain stimuli, such as cell injury
Parenchymal cells of the liver, kidney and pancreas

20
Q

What are permanent tissue? give examples.

A

non-dividing cells, leads to scar formation

cardiac and skeletal

21
Q

Name the growth factors mainly involved in regeneration.

A

VEGF, PDGJ, TGF-beta

22
Q

What are growth factors in regeneration, mainly produced by?

A

Macrophages and lymphocytes - as part of inflammatory process.
Parenchymal and stomal cells - produce growth factors in response to injury.

23
Q

What is the function of VEGF?

A

Angiogenesis

24
Q

Does angiogenesis involve sprouting of new vessels from existing ones? and what are pericytes?

A

Angiogenesis involves sprouting of new vessels from existing ones – involves Endothelial cell proliferation and migration

Promoted by VEGF

Critical in the site the site of injury – development of collateral circulations at sites if ischemia

25
Formation of granulation tissue is derived from which growth factors?
Derived by growth factors TGF-β, PDGF and FGF
26
How does laying down of tissue occur on the scar?
Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts into the site of injury Deposition of ECM proteins
27
Why does Connective tissue in the scar continues to be modified and remodeled?
Improve the tensile strength of the wound
28
What does the outcome of remodelling depend on?
a balance between synthesis and degradation of ECM proteins
29
What degrades collagen and other ECM components?
MMPs - matrixmetalloproteinases
30
Is healing of a surgical incision, a first or second intention?
first intention The incision causes only focal disruption of epithelial basement membrane continuity and death of relatively few epithelial and connective tissue cells
31
What happens within 24 hours of healing by first intention?
The narrow incisional space first fills with fibrin-clotted blood (scab) Within 24 hours, neutrophils are seen at the incision margin, migrating toward the fibrin clot (acute inflammation)
32
What happens within 24 to 48 hours of healing by first intention?
Within 24 to 48 hours, epithelial cells from both edges have begun to migrate and proliferate along the dermis
33
What happens by day 3- 7 of healing by first intention?
By day 3-7, neutrophils have been largely replaced by macrophages, and angiogenesis reach its peak. Granulation tissue progressively invades the incision space
34
What happens by the second week of healing by first intention?
During the second week, there is continued collagen accumulation and fibroblast proliferation (Scar maturation)
35
What is an example of healing by second intention?
Examples: large wounds at sites of abscess formation, ulceration, and infarction The repair process is more complex and involves development of abundant granulation tissue, with accumulation of ECM and formation of a large scar Scar formation is followed by wound contraction mediated by the action of myofibroblasts
36
What are some of the factors of healing by first intention?
Clean, generally uninfected, margins surgically clean, easy to suture, little granulation tissue, not many complications and linear scars
37
What are some factors of healing by second intention?
Unclean, infection chances, irregular wound area, impossible to close, lots of granulation tissue, complications, irregular scars
38
What are some factors affecting tissue repair?
Infection, nutrition, poor perfusion, mechanical variables, type and extent of tissue injury
39
What are the complications of tissue repair?
Excessive healing or formation Formation of a contracture
40
What type of complications of tissue repair would: dehiscence, evisceration and ulceration be part of?
Inadequate formation
41
What type of complications of tissue repair would: keloids formation (excess collagen) and exuberant granulation tissue be part of?
excessive formation
42
What are contractures?
fibrosis of connective tissue in skin, fascia, muscle, or a joint capsule that prevents normal mobility of the related tissue or joint
